PRODUCT INFORMATION - Josiah Wedgwood perfected Jasperware or jasper ware and is a type of stone ware with matte finish. The uniform stone ware in solid colors ornamented in a contrasting hue was Josiah Wedgwood's most important contribution to ceramic art. Wedgwood jasperware has been in production for over two hundred years. Jasperware is non-glazed stone ware with matte finish featuring classical figures virtually synonymous with the Wedgwood name. The base-relief decoration is made separately in sprig molds and then applied to the surface of the piece by hand.

Tobacco Jars were used to hold tobacco and were popular from mid-1800 to today. They are usually made of ceramic or porcelain.
